Why choose PANTHER PROTECT?

LEADING THE WAY WITH INNOVATION.

Whilst there are other brands and choices available,

none have the unique features that make the

Panther range one of the strongest products in the

domestic market. The simplicity in the mechanics of

how the mesh is held in place is the secret to making

this product so strong and so successful. The ingenious

“load locking leg” ensures the entire perimeter of the

mesh is held tight. There is no need or use of unsightly

screws, no rivets, no clamping, no mechanical fixing –

The clever “load locking leg” is all that is needed to

provide strength that actually gets stronger the more

impacts it receives. Unlike other door and window

systems that weaken with every impact, with PANTHER

PROTECT doors and windows, the more forces that are

applied, the more secure the mesh becomes inside the

frame as the “load locking leg” grips, causing a

jamming effect as the leg moves forward under impact.

Safety Screening System

SECURITY DOORS & WINDOWS

As well as offering a more affordable and attractive security solution, PANTHER PROTECT doors and

windows provide results. The patented design has proved that exceptional strength can be obtained

without unnecessary obstruction to your view with unsightly bars and grills, or the need to use

screws, rivets, clamping, crimping or mechanical fixing.

The more force applied, the more

secure the mesh becomes, causing

a jamming effect

Superior Strength without

PANTHER PROTECT proves it

can be done.

SECURITY

SALT SPRAY TEST (AS2331.3.1) This is a corrosion testing method. Sometimes referred to as salt fog, a

salt spray test is conducted in a closed chamber that can be adjusted

to a variety of corrosive environments. The reason for this test is to

ensure the surface integrity of the stainless steel mesh used in the

door and window frame. The presence of sea salt on the surface of

stainless steel is one of the major factors that cause “tea staining”.

Areas of high humidity generate a film of moisture that dissolves the

salt deposits and creates a corrosive solution on the surface. PANTHER PROTECT doors and

windows use PANTHER MAX 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel mesh. Whilst the Australian

Standard only requires 1000 hours of testing, PANTHER MAX 316 withstood 3000 hours without

any adverse reaction proving that it will stand the test of time in the harshest conditions. Whilst

there are several grades of Stainless Steel woven mesh, the use of 316 Marine Grade will perform

the best for corrosion resistance.

KNIFE SHEAR TEST (AS5041) As the name suggests, this is a test method to determine the resistance of the security mesh used

to a specified level of attack from a heavy duty knife. The tensile strength of PANTHER MAX 316

passed with flying colours to not only meet but exceed the level for security standards.

The knife is positioned to strike the woven mesh a number of times under a constant force. Should

the blade penetrate the wire and achieve a cut longer than 150mm, then it is a FAIL

PANTHER MAX 316 was not penetrated by the blade at all, unlike some mesh that claim they pass

this test when in fact it does not – Refer to competitors mesh above showing a clear failure of test

DYNAMIC IMPACT TEST (AS5039) This test is designed to simulate an intruder trying to kick their way through a security door or

window. This was introduced after it was found that grills or an infill fitted to security screen doors

were subject to impact breakage through kicking of the panel. The Australian Standard test is

performed with a 40kg sand and lead filled bag. This back is pulled back via a pendulum style

system and released to swing into the door panel with a hit of 100 joules. Once the panel

withstood 5 consecutive impacts it was considered a PASS.

PANTHER PROTECT MK111 has been engineered so well that the testing laboratory continued the

impacts until we achieved 100 hits. “This is 20 x the number of impacts required to pass the test”.

We believe that the current level of impact does not accurately reflect the strength of a security

door, so we tested at 200 joules and 300 joules – These impacts simulated extremely aggressive

forces to the door and once again the PANTHER PROTECT MK111 load locking leg engaged to be

300% stronger than the Australian Standards require for a pass. “Now that’s peace of mind”.

THE BENEFITS THAT ARE DERIVED FROM THIS DESIGN:

Increased Strength around the entire perimeter of the frame.

No unsightly fixing methods – No screws, rivets or welding.

Provides exceptional value for money through cost savings of manufacturing time without

compromising on the quality of materials.

No contact with dissimilar metals – If there is a break in the surface integrity such as a hole drilled

through the aluminium frame to allow for fixing the mesh using screws or rivets, this can make the

exposed areas susceptible to accelerated corrosion. Panther Protect needs no mechanised method

to secure the mesh and has an isolator membrane that prevents any contact of dissimilar metals –

“Don’t overpay for outdated and redundant engineering –

Invest in PANTHER PROTECT security doors and

windows for a long lasting investment and peace of mind”

Your reward is the PANTHER PROTECT vision

We recognised the frustration for hard working home

owners who want an affordable quality alternative for

their home security. Unfortunately most of the choices

available were cost prohibitive. By using clever design

and the latest innovation, PANTHER PROTECT can now

offer our customers both doors and windows that

exceed both strength and aesthetic appeal of other

high end stainless security systems at a much more

affordable price.

EXTENSIVE TESTING – It’s not what you say, IT’S WHAT YOU CAN PROVE ! In an industry that is littered with questionable claims and confusion as to test results, ambiguity of

product performance and what all the jargon means, many security door and window businesses

promote claims they cannot prove or will not produce evidence to substantiate their claims.

PANTHER PROTECT values the information we give to our customers and offer complete

transparency on our test results and performance information.

All PANTHER PROTECT product testing has been carried out by an independent NATA accredited

laboratory to ensure our products exceeded all relevant Australian Standards.

THE PANTHER RANGE: Hinged Doors – Sliding Doors – French Doors – Patio / Verandah Enclosures

– Windows – Fire Exit Safe Escape.
